The designer of this generation was David Holls, and among the engineers of this series was Zora Arkus-Duntov, a prominent figure in automotive technology. These vehicles were not just a symbol of American sports cars, but also of technological innovations like the introduction of T-Tops. A crucial technical component was the 5.7-liter V8 engine, known for its performance and reliability.
